  3. What's your most interesting/scary case?

    33-weeker replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes. For some reason ER doesn't get the baby thing very well. I haven't seen our's go so far as to bag a pink baby, but they don't keep them warm very well. I did go down once to find them...

  8. Rules for the ER (long)

    33-weeker replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    1. I know you get a lot of 'seekers' and fakers in the ER, but I am not one. Stop looking down your nose at me like you are suspicious of everything I say. ... innocent until proven guilty......

  9. When patients lie about rides.....

    33-weeker replied to TazziRN's topic in Emergency

    on our postpartum unit, they limit the doses to 6. this is due to the effect of increased bleeding (hinders clotting time) -- not a good thing when you've just had a

  10. Male staff-Female Pt. - ECG

    33-weeker replied to bill4745's topic in Emergency

    As a congenital heart pt. whose had countless ECGs and many echos, I will say that - though I am a nurse and I can see things from the professional's perspective - when I'm playing patient, warm gel...

  11. What's your most interesting/scary case?

    33-weeker replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i wasn't there, but heard about it later. young couple, 20's, first baby. healthy pregnancy, term, nearly 8 lb. girl. mom was pushing. of course, there's always that point where you lose heart...

  12. To paint or not to paint... cords

    33-weeker replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    triple dye (name?) is a combo of alcohol, gentian violet (sp?) & some third substance that i can't remember the name of. it is a pain. it does get all over everything until it dries. i warn...

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    amen!!! well said!

  14. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    - found this article. i don't agree with everything, and i don't see how you can garnish a father's wages if you don't know who he is (tad of humor here), but it is a thought-provoking article...

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    this isn't work, and who said i

  16. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i was on wic for a while when i was a stay at home mom needing a breaast pump for my twin with a suck problem. it is true that different stores treat you different. kroger was the worst, with the...

  17. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    we don't own them, but we do support them, while not getting the same benefits for ourselves. i pay thousands of dollars out of my own pocket every year for my family's healthcare. then i pay taxes...

  18. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    perhaps you missed my point. many healthcare workers are biased toward charity patients. when so many of them act rude and have such attitudes, it creates the basis for a steryotype, and the...

  19. What do patients say that irks you?

    33-weeker replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i was delivery nurse last night (catching for nursery). i got called to come - mom was pushing. this family - and i don't say this lightly - was what some would refer to as white trash. there were...

  20. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    the op is entitled to her opinion. perhaps she could have been kinder, but perhaps we do need to tone it down a bit. perhaps we do need to be careful not to cross the line when we are venting. for the...

  21. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    another thought that occurred to me later... many of us feel rather powerless over things in our society that we must simply endure, even though they are clearly wrong. (drug addicts popping out a...

  22. What do patients say that irks you?

    33-weeker replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    oh my... i just had my first one. grandma asked me in the or, just after the stat section for decels, while baby was on the warmer, "so, he's had his circumcision already?", as she pointed to his...

  23. manual temps vs. temp probe

    33-weeker replied to ncnicunurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ditto for us. i find the temp probe inacuracies can be greatly reduced with plain ol' good nursing care - making sure the sticky cover is sticking well. i'm surprised how many times i come on shift...

  24. New NICU

    33-weeker replied to dixiegirlRNicu's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    the powers that be neglected to put a bathroom in ours. since we sometimes get down low enough census-wise to use only 1 nurse over there, it can be a problem. with the dim lights and no outside...

  25. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    33-weeker replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    as someone who started one of these vile threads, yes, i can say that we really can hide our feelings. i get top scores on my evaluation for patient satisfaction/courtesy every year. in 15+ years...
